[golfballs]

You'd think we were barely clinging to being on the bubble with that kinda attitude lol

Sounds like an outside shot at best :dunno:

have been putting this together over the past couple months and didn’t plan to post until next spring but given the rule changes allowing juniors to now OV and the fact Tennessee seems done for the 2019 (at least for now) figured I would go ahead with it.

These are the guys currently with offers, as things stand right now tennessee will have room to sign at least 4 (Bone, Turner, Bowden, Williams). All rankings are per Rivals, if no Rivals ranking then will use 247 national ranking indicated by *:

#11 Jaden Springer
#14 Jalen Suggs
#16 Sharife Cooper
#19 Walker Kessler
#29 Corey Walker Jr.
#34 Keon Johnson
#41 Dain Dainja
#49 Jayden Stone
#60 Jalen Cone
#64 Micah Peavy
#68 PJ Hall
#92 Justice Ajogbor
#110 Matthew Murrell

NR Justin Powell
NR Elijah Taylor
NR Jordan Wilmore
NR Samson Ruzhentsev
NR Dylan Cardwell
NR Akeem Odusipe
NR Norrance Berry

Bolded are all expected in town this weekend, Kessler will be an OV.

 

[bleedingTNorange]

He’s already taken 4 visits. Duke, Virginia, Michigan, and Vandy.

I expect his 5th to go to UNC and him to reclassify.

Guess we will see Saturday

Per VQ Kessler is expected in this weekend for his OV

 

[golfballs]

I expect he’ll see us lay it on Florida

No way. He's going to North Carolina because we're scared on the big bad blue bloods. No chance this kid gives us a shot.

Signed,

Kessler, Walker Jr., Cone and Cardwell all expected in this weekend.

Unreal group of guys coming in this weekend. The atmosphere for this guy will be one of the best all season.

BTO any idea when we could possibly get a commit from someone in the '20 class?

Not heard anything...it wouldn’t be shocking for a guy like Keon Johnson or PJ Hall to do something, they seem to be further along in the process than a lot of guys, but I’m not expecting anything for awhile.

I'm kinda surprised Keon hasn't already done it. Or maybe he already has and is waiting to go public

 

[Volfanatic_20]

Kessler is not making it in per VQ dad's sick. Plans to make it in for the Kentucky game.

Let’s hope he doesn’t show up somewhere else this weekend

I assume you meant to say somewhere else, not someone else.

If he holds off and sticks to his word to visit for UK, I can see it being a bit advantageous for us, as the high of the other visits will have worn off by that point, and we will be the freshest memory in his mind when decision time comes.

Can't say that I like it because I think he misses a great atmosphere this week and it allows other teams to sway him in the meantime, but it is what it is.

Agree completely...if he does indeed stay home this weekend and doesn’t visit anywhere for 3 weeks until the UK game that would be a great sign imo.

That’s convienent.

 

[Professor Nono]

I think VQ is on it. Kessler won’t be in this weekend I dont think. But when he comes to visit either on official or unofficial it needs to be a big game IMO

You gotta remember - three members of his immediate family have been through the big time recruiting game. The kid knows what he wants and a dog and pony show is not going to convince him. He is NB A material so college is a stop off point for him

 

[The Dog]

That’s convienent.

Well, looks like I'm wrong. But schools in Knoxville have been closed for the last 2 days and half the people I work with or know, have had sinus problems. So, maybe this is legit or u are right. We will see, I'm betting he shows up for a game within the month

2020 Center Dylan Caldwell is on campus. Plays for Oak Hill. Has an offer. 6’10 220

He's a take. I don't care about his basketball talent. I'm just basing it on that photo

So he’ll be at a UNC this weekend?

 

[Volfanatic_20]

VQ podcast made it sound like the father is ill. Not sure if that means like battling the flu or has a long term problem right now. Either way do not expect him to visit anywhere.

A center who’s not 7’ tall - from reading this forum I understand he can’t be effective here?

 

[volunteerfan94]

No, but he only has 1 OV left if he reclassified, so he needs a couple weeks to decide. If them it’d be FSU game 2/23 or Duke 3/9, it could still be Tenn (vs UK) as his 5th, but UNC offered recently, and I’m sure he’s just doing his due diligence. I hope we get him, these are the prospects we need to chase after.

Hope Dad feels better though. There is some stuff going around.

So he’ll be at a UNC this weekend?
